Learning to Live the Lifestyle

Brooke was sprawled out on the couch in her pajamas watching her favorite Netflix show. It was Thursday night and she was enjoying the down time just lying around in the apartment surfing around on her laptop when her phone lit up.

“Hey whatcha doing.” it read.

It was her boyfriend Brad texting.

“Hey, thought you had to work tonight.” she typed back.

“Just got a break wanted to say hi.”

“Well that was sweet of you baby.”

“Hey I have some time off this next week and thought maybe we could go away this weekend.”

“Oh that sounds great, where did you have in mind?” she excitedly responded.

“It’s up to you, but I was thinking someplace romantic.” Brad sent back with a wink emoji.

Brooke got a big smile on her face and sent him back a smiling angle and smiling devil.

“Hey I got to get back to work, find something and we can talk tonight when I get home, love you honey.”

“See you then. “She responded adding a heart at the end.

Brooke grabbed her laptop off the floor and set it back in her lap. Typing into the search bar and looking for a place for the two of them to go off to.

Brooke was getting a little discouraged she couldn’t seem to find something affordable that fit the bill of romantic, that wasn’t already booked up for the weekend, when she stumbled across a website for Pine Lake.

The picture was of a beautiful lake nestled in the hills, surrounded by giant redwoods. The sun was glistening off the smooth surface of the lake as a couple sitting on the end of a dock dangling their feet in the water was lovingly holding hands and watching the sun set.

Brooke was getting more and more excited as the thoughts of the two of them enjoying a romantic getaway swirled through her head.

Brooke clicked on, WHERE ARE WE

Wow this place is only a few hours away in the California redwoods, perfect! She thought.

This place sounds cool, and all the pictures are amazing. Brooke thought. She clicked on MORE INFORMATION and an instant chat box popped up.

“Hi, how may I help you?” It read.

Brooke began talking to the person on the other end. She got more information on what the retreat was all about and how to make the most of the experience. Brooke’s heart was pounding, and she almost jumped out of her skin when she heard the apartment door open. She had completely lost track of time. She had been chatting online with the resort for three hours.

Franticly she typed out her last message and closed her laptop setting it on the table next to the couch.

“Did you find anywhere to go? “Brad asked.

“Well, that’s what I want to talk to you about. “Brooke responded with a strange tone in her voice.

“So, what did you find?” He questioned.

“Well, it’s a beautiful place along the edge of a lake up in the redwoods just a few hours from here.”

Brooke went on to tell him all about the gourmet meals, the couples’ massages and the fun activities they provided for all the guests. She told him about how fun she thought the place sounded and he agreed it sounded fun.

“Well, this all sounds great, but can we afford it? It sounds expensive. “

“That’s just the thing babe; it’s not going to cost us a thing.” She smiled

She went on to explain this place was kind of like a time share. You buy in and become a full member and you can stay one month a year for free. They would be able to go for free if they agreed to consider buying into the resort as full members for the future. While they were not obligated to buy there was one catch. They must stay for a whole month.

“They want us to agree to stay the whole month, and give them an opportunity to get us hooked on the place so we will want to buy in.”

“A whole month?” Brad questioned.

“Yes, baby but there is something else, and I really hope you will say yes because I am so excited about going here.”

More, Brad thought to himself.

“You see baby this is a couple’s retreat. They help couples to build and maintain a long lasting, loving relationship, based on trust, love and devotion. They have daily classes to help foster open communication and loving devotion. They will help teach us how to please each other better and ensure our relationship lasts long term.”

After a half hour or so of back and forth they agreed he would use his saved up vacation time to take off the next four weeks and they would go to Pine Lake on Saturday.
